  A: One dead baby nailed to 10 trees.
  
  Q: What is the difference between a portia and a pile of dead babies?
  A: I don't have a portia in my garage.
  
  Why do you think that these jokes are so funny? My mom hates them, and she threatened me and my sister and told us that when we have babies, she'll tell us dead baby jokes.

THAT, I believe, is the question. :/ No where does she ask for our share of jokes.

I've heard various variations of both Nathuram's and rakwel's, so I don't really have much to share--therefore, I didn't.

Oh very well. If you must, I have the one about the Porsche, but it was with a Ferrari instead--that makes it so much funnier 8D

i like the one about the dead babies in the garage XD
i always use ferrari instead though...cuz thats how it was told to me.

i know alot of people who are offended by the jokes..i dont offend easily but i know not everyone is like me. the important thing is to find out BEFORE the joke is told XD cuz that can end very badly.

• As in, you have to know your audience.

Ah, yes. That's certainly one thing to keep in mind. >.> Especially with these kinds of jokes.

I first heard the two in the first post when a guy I just met was trying to break the tension (or he was bored) and told them to me. I didn't laugh, but I did say eww and pantomime vomiting.

But they are pretty funny because the joke is what you were thinking the answer would be in your head before they gave you the sick one.

Of course there are always people who will be upset... I like what someone before me posted : KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE.

I like pervy jokes too, and as long as it's just a joke... these people are trying to do something harmless, like, telling a joke!!

People make fun of the holocaust and 911... you know they know the extremity of those events.
